Guess I'll throw in my 2 cents also. I've had my TL for 3 years now, and love it. I thought about getting something newer so I test drove the TSX. Personally I like the size and look of the TSX better than the new TL but I like smaller cars (also owned a Miata, and a Prelude). However, I just don't think I could be happy with the power of the 4cy. I really like the torque of the V-6 and it is smoother (also had a Toyota Supra Turbo - so I do enjoy power). If you are into the gadets - TL is better, if you like a smaller lighter car go with the TSX. I'll echo everyone elses comments that it is really a matter of priorities and what you like. BTW my wife drove the TL most of the time we owned it and said that she preferred it to the TSX when we test drove.

I was thinking about both and decided on the TL because of size and the power. And for some reason, around here (MD - College Park), the TSX seems to be a popular female car (although I disagree).

Price was the main thing when considering the TSX. Especially when considering used, you can get a TSX with Navi for around $27K (if you can find it). Too me the car felt underpowered, btu the handling was much better.

TSX > TL in looks outside. But the TL is better in most parts.

Yeah!!....it's finally over I pulled the trigger and close the deal on a 2006 CGP 5spd-AT with Navi. Had a back to back test drive of the TL and TSX yesterday (from another dealership) and again today. The last test drive (on the dealership where I closed the deal) made me choose the TSX over TL....sales rep gave me a demo with 60 miles on the odometer, 5spd-AT with Navi (had the wife and son in tow).....he told me to test drive it and go to Park City (about 25 miles from the dealership) and that involves a lot of uphill driving. Played with the navi and set the direction to Park City....well I had to tell you guys/gals I had a blast driving up to Park City I was doing about 70-90 mph and use the sportshift (a late model VW Jetta tried to catch up with me but left him in the dust)....it was definitely a blast and fun car to drive, very quiet on the road, quick to do a lane change and notice no lag when giving it some gas. So my conclusion......luv the exterior handsome styling of the TSX. It does have adequate power on uphill and mountain driving (a particular concern for me especially if the 4 banger can handle the uphill driving) good visibility all around which I'm not the only one who noticed it.....my wife of course thought of it too she drove the TSX on the way back to the dealership and the nice dash and instrumentation layout and lastly I do like compactness or the right size of the vehicle. Some of the things I noticed on the TL test drive.....the engine somehow I can hear a slight droning sound. Felt that the front/nose was blocking my view of the road (couldn't have a good visibility, really have to raise the driver's seat to have a good view while driving - I'm 5'8" by the way )......I guess I was so used to my old 1990 Honda Accord which had a good (or commanding) view of the road in front of me. Looking at the back from the driver's seat while reversing or checking the car(s) behind me I somehow notice a blindspot IMHO. Awesome stereo on the TL and of course plenty of power. In the end I had to go with my gut feeling (I even lost some sleep on this) it was a very very close decision and I think both cars are great and you can't go wrong with either one of them!
